Perché no?

I'll never forget the night I went to the theater to watch it, once it was released in this country back in the late 1970's. I was living in a small community and remember that I felt like wearing a wig and dark sunglasses, in case I should meet somebody I knew. Well I didn't. I went with great anticipation that was met fully. It opened my eyes and prepared my mind to what a wonderful life that lay ahead of me. I was not to be disappointed. The movie is wonderful. My wish for the future is that it will run in the theaters again, as it has a story and a message to tell to people today, as it will have in the future. My wish is also that it will be released on DVD - soon.

I've seen this film more than 20 years ago, but last night it came back to my memory. The movie made me feel good and raised the longing, for why are we so exclusive in our loves. why isn't it possible to accept the loves of our beloved ? Hence the title. The film gives a nostalgic feeling to such a life. First it shows how the marriage à trois works, than a second woman is introduced. One of the men falls in love with her. You think, that this will be the end for the love of the others. That he will leave with his new love, but then.....It evokes the dream, that this is a possible situation, but it also shows, that everybody wants one, unique love. It is contradictory, but charming.

Some other comments have summarized the content of the film. For me the positive thinking about human relationships is at the core of this work. The film breaks free of conventional relationships and focuses on the love between people. Love comes to the most improbable people by being sensitive to the example set by the main figures of the plot. The most inspiring feature is the positive thinking. You go out of this film and you really ask yourself: Why not! Why not pay attention to the love that is searching you and that you may never have realized. I would love to own a DVD. A shame that it never got published outside cinemas. If it comes out I will definitely buy it. I did not know that it was shown in Germany.

... or a confused woman/man in the middle of an identity crisis! This wonderful comedy - it combines successfully the hilarious and the horrible - has nevertheless a strong underlying message of great seriousness: What matters is people, and their love for each other, and their strength to carry on. I've loved this film ever since I first saw it. It seems to be almost forgotten (except in Germany, where it still is a cult movie) - I am looking forward to the day when it will be released on video or DVD.

Will it be able, to see this film again. Does anybody know, where there might be a copy or a digital release or something? I remember, the Film impressed me very much, when i saw it in the late seventy's, it even gave a new direction to my ethics, if i can say so with my medium bad English and i would very much like to see it again for i.e. just control, if i was correctly impressed that time. It seemed like a revolution, the promise of the possibility of love to more than one with the solution for so many not loved people, that are not loved because love is so restricted. Also maybe the way out of the 68 free love dilemma, cause this way love stays still romantic.
